Sunday January 8, 2023 - US Kids Tournament

 So this was the first US Kids tournament of the year and only the second one Trevor has ever played in.   After five straight tournament wins on the X3 Tour, this was a huge dose of reality as the boy struggled to a round of 96.   No lost balls, just one penalty stroke, but horrible putting, less than average chipping, and lousy approach shots.   

MAJOR mistake:  No lunch, no snacks in the bag = completely out of gas on the back nine.

Something good to take out of this was on the 471 yard par 4, yes par 4, he had a 274 yard drive (longest ever) and a 200 yard 5 wood to get on the green in regulation.


It's all good.   This round will be the absolute floor for the rest of his golf life.   He knows what he needs to work on and he'll build off of this.

 X3 Tournament Championship - final tour stop.   The boy was in 3rd place overall and the only chance he had to win it all was to win the tournament and have both Conner (2nd overall) and Chase (leader) place 7th or lower.   That wasn't going to happen.   He just had to beat Cruz Cooper (4th overall) outright to maintain his position at 3rd overall - and he did. He birdied holes 3 and 5 and went into the 6th hole at even par.   Doubles on 6 and 8 cost him but he finished strong with a par on 9 to end up +5, good enough for 2nd place behind Chase, who finished +3.

Thursday October 5, 2023 - Muscle Shoals, AL

Trevor played The Shoals - Fighting Joe course with Bill Beumer, the head golf coach at Grissom High School in Huntsville.   The state championship is being played at this course so he wanted to get familiar with it.   Trevor got off to a rocky start but birdied back to back holes to finish the front nine and cruised to an 82 on yet another great course.
